The Tories still have time to win over voters because “there isn’t an election tomorrow”, Grant Shapps argued this morning.
The Defence Secretary said the Conservatives “do have a plan and that plan is starting to work”.
Asked where things had gone wrong for the Tories, in reference to today’s YouGov poll, Mr Shapps told Times Radio: “The world has been through unprecedented times with things like Covid, this war in Europe costing a lot of money. But actually we do have a plan and that plan is starting to work.
“Inflation being slashed, the number of small boats down by over a third, 36 per cent in fact. So we have a plan which we are working to. Actually there isn’t an election tomorrow, people know that, but when they are faced with the choice they will be looking at whether to elect Keir Starmer and Labour and we would be right back to square one again.
“So our plan that is working against going back to square one. Labour don’t have a plan for these issues.”
